  • Publication number: 20120166034
    Abstract: A safety system is disclosed in, for example, an autonomous ground vehicle. A safety mechanism as disclosed can avoid an autonomous ground vehicle operating at too high a speed in the proximity of human operators. Vehicle position data and personnel position data can be provided to the safety system; and if the vehicle position data and personnel position data are determined by the safety system to indicate that the vehicle is in close proximity to personnel, the safety system applies a speed profile to the vehicle control system causing the vehicle to reduce speed or stop.
